Subject syllabus

General scope of the course:
Material models of concrete, reinforced concrete and reinforcement. Stress and strain analysis of slab, wall and wall-slab structures. The effect of geometric and material nonlinearity. The finite element method (FEM), concrete and reinforcement models. Elements effected by variable stiffness and cracks. Isotropic, orthotropic and layers theory and stiffness matrix. Internal forces, principal stresses and their trajectories. Cracks, their arising and the effect on the structure stiffness. Time-depending models of creep and shrinkage of concrete. Restoration, strengthening and reconstruction of reinforced concrete elements and structures.

Individual project:
The topic and the form of an individual project will be chosen by the teacher considering the scope of the thesis.
